80% of military members are in rolls that can easily be filled by women.

Then let men in those roles train to the female APFT standard.

Those jobs can be done by women , sometimes even better than men can do them.

To a certain degree, this is true. I've been complimentary of female troops with whom I've served here and in other places. However, we're largely dealing with our last 20 years experience. Mostly, we do the killing and we could have civilians doing a lot of these jobs, too.

But, a soldier is supposed to be a warfighter when the shite hits the fan. Mixed or female-only units always underperform all male units in combat. Period.
